Turbo's Explained

Standard turbo chargers offer a performance increase of anything from 10 to 50bhp.

A turbo consists of a turbine and a compressor, the turbine is spun by gases from the exhaust and gets faster as the engine revolutions increase, the compressor is linked to the cars air intake and spins at the same speed as the turbine, sucking air in and using its specific designed blades to compress the air going into the engine.

Turbo upgrades come in many forms, improved compressor or turbine blade design, bigger size for increased volume or better bearings for smoother faster spinning speeds. Upgraded turbos can in most cases, improve performance, reduce lag (the time it takes to start spinning) and improve fuel economy by being more efficient.
